UK unemployment set for further rise in 2021 - ING

James Smith, a Developed Market economist at ING, notes that the UK jobs market stabilised towards the end of 2020 after months of turbulence but there's a risk we see the jobless rate rise towards the 6-7% region if the government support is removed before all sectors have fully reopened. 

"The latest UK data offers hope that the jobs market stabilised towards the end of 2020, after a turbulent autumn. Unemployment rose through September and October ahead of the originally planned end-date for the furlough scheme. While the policy was ultimately extended, redundancies rose and peaked in September as firms cut their workforce in anticipation of reduced wage subsidies."

"The better news is that real-time payrolls data tentatively suggests that employment has since stabilised, after consistent month-on-month falls. While businesses in the hardest-hit sectors are reporting financial difficulties (roughly half of hospitality firms have less than three months of cash reserves, according to ONS survey data), the extended furlough scheme appears to be succeeding in limiting job losses so far."

"However, the scheme is currently due to expire in April. The question is whether the policy is extended further, given that aspects of the current lockdown are likely to last longer, or whether the government reverts to offering subsidies only where staff are brought back on a part-time basis (in other words, no longer supporting staff who cannot work at all)."

"The risk is that we will see a further rise in unemployment, if support is tapered before the hardest hit sectors are allowed to open."

"The disruption stemming from the new UK-EU deal will also inevitably put pressure on jobs as businesses continue to grapple with the permanent increase in costs and trade barriers. While there is plenty of uncertainty, it’s not inconceivable that the unemployment rate could reach the 6-7% region later this year."

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
